The journey from Dongyang County to Kyoto is not too far.

Because he had to take care of Lee's body, he had to slow down and walked for six days to arrive in Kyoto.

Li was always a little frightened and had nightmares along the way.

Xia Ruan asked Du Ruo to prepare a calming decoction in advance in case of emergency.

If you want to say that you are in the happiest mood, there is no one more than Xia Fucheng.

These days, he seems to want to open up, talking and laughing with Jia Hei all day long.

Xia Ruan glanced at his father and didn't say much.

What her father is thinking, she naturally knows the truth.

This time, my father just thought that if he entered Kyoto, then he could find a more clever doctor to treat his leg, and then he could be windy and rainy. And he can now show off to others that the wife he married is the concubine of Chengguo Gong, which is probably something that many people did not expect.

Shinong businessman, his father is the lowest merchant, how can the people of Kyoto look up to him?

Daydreaming.

Xia Ruan looked at Jia Hei's sad appearance and smiled helplessly, Jia Hei is a mediocre person who disturbs himself.

After the carriage entered Kyoto, someone soon came to pick it up.

This person is Xue Wu, the guard next to Li Changfeng.

Xue Wu led the carriage all the way to the northern city of Kyoto.

"Miss, it's here." Xue Wu said outside.

Xia Ruan got out of the carriage and saw the house in front of him, and was slightly stunned.

The imperial city of Daqin is in the south of the city, and the people living nearby are all relatives of the emperor, such as the Chengguo Mansion is not far from the palace gate. The eastern city was inhabited by other officials, while the northern city was home to merchants.

But the Dayang Hutong in front of you......

Xue Wu saw that Xia Ruan didn't speak. Thinking she was uncomfortable, she said, "Miss is not feeling well?" ”

Xia Ruan smiled with a smile: "I don't have anything to do, I'm just a little tired." ”

When Li got down from the carriage, she couldn't help but reddened her eyes when she saw the house in front of her, and she muttered to herself: "This is Dayang Hutong." ”

Although the north city is some distance from the south city, it is only half an hour's foot. Moreover, the houses around this Dayang Hutong are not something that can be bought with money, and the businessmen who live here are all well-known figures, such as the most powerful businessman in Daqin today - the Nan family.

After entering the house, I saw two mothers-in-law and a group of maids and maids coming up.

A group of people saluted. One of the mother-in-law at the head was just about to speak. Let Xia Ruan interrupt: "My mother has worked hard all the way, and now she needs to rest." I'll arrange the things in the house later, and I'll call all the people to the front hall early tomorrow morning. ”

The mother-in-law was hesitant, and they didn't answer a word for half a sound.

The smile on Xia Ruan's lips gradually turned cold. She looked at Xue Wudao and said, "It seems that my young lady is the words." Neither would they listen. Xue Wu. Please tell the third uncle, I don't want these people. ”

As soon as Xia Ruan's words came out, the mother-in-law and the maids knelt on the ground together: "The old slave knows that he is wrong. The old slave will let everyone come to the front hall early tomorrow morning. ”

Xue Wu looked at Xia Ruan's expression, and became a little more dignified.

The house is not too big, but the layout is very delicate and exquisite, and after Xia Ruan finished reading it, he went back to Haitang Garden to rest.

Du Ruo came in with tea, looked at Xia Ruan rubbing his eyebrows, and couldn't help but comfort: "Miss, can you rest for a while?" ”

Xia Ruan shook his head.

She roughly calculated, there are more than 40 mothers-in-law and maids here, although these people are not many in the eyes of the third uncle. But where do they need so many subordinates in their current status?

You don't have to think about it, it must have been arranged by He Cui.

At the beginning, these mothers-in-law gave her a horse, and prepared to tell her the rules in front of the door. He Cui seems to have long believed that her mother is weak and will not resist, but she doesn't want to be rebelled by her. And these mothers-in-law and maids must be the Xia family to pay the money, He Cui seems to be doing a good job, and has intimately prepared so many people to serve, but in fact, he wants to give Xia Ruan some pressure.

Xue Wu is the person next to the third uncle, so he has naturally seen some clues, and he will tell the third uncle about this matter at that time.

In fact, Xia Ruan never planned to let the third uncle come forward to deal with this matter, after all, the affairs in the court were enough to annoy the third uncle, and now if the third uncle had to worry about the affairs of the back house, then she would be too useless. It's just that sometimes, she has to knock on the mountain and shake the tiger.

"Du Ruo, you go and put the things we brought with us into the storeroom, and then take stock of the things in the house, these things have to be done by yourself. Let the six sons go and exchange the silver tickets for cash, and I will be useful tomorrow. Xia Ruan frowned and finished ordering, and added, "You let Du Lan follow your mother's side, and don't let the maids here serve you for the time being." ”

Xia Ruan had to be careful, the He family had been worried that He Cui would not be able to conceive the heir of the Li family all these years, so the arrival of her mother this time was bad news for the He family.

Du Ruo nodded and said, "The slave and maid know the way." ”

When Du Ruo retreated, Xia Ruan couldn't help but yawn.

The Begonia Garden is very close to the Shadow Bamboo Garden where her mother lives, and it is very quiet here, and the camellia she brought with her has been placed in the yard, which is full of fragrance.

Xia Ruan was slightly stunned, she didn't know if she would meet Xiao Jiu again in the future.

Feeling that she was thinking too much, she shook it, then picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea before picking up the ledger that was sitting aside and continuing to read.

Steward Wang and Liu Changyuan's busyness these days is worth it, and she will have a good income next month.

Everything was about to start all over again, and she felt at home.

On the second day, Du Ruo was still waiting for Xia Ruan to freshen up, when he heard footsteps outside.

"Miss, it's Mother Liu, who is in charge, here." After Du Ruo asked clearly, he whispered to Xia Ruan.

Xia Ruan raised her eyebrows, then smiled slightly, and let Mother Liu enter the house.

Du Ruo continued to comb Xia Ruan's hair bun, and he was very skillful and crisp, and the beaded flowers and hairpins were carefully selected by Du Ruo, which was very exquisite.

After a while, a round-faced woman walked in, and she blessed Xia Ruan, looking very deferential. Xia Ruan looked at it and bowed slightly: "Mother Liu, is there something wrong?" ”

Mother Liu smiled, with a bit of sincerity in her words: "Say hello to Miss." Originally, he was supposed to come to see Miss yesterday, but the third master asked people to tell that Miss and Mrs. were tired all the way and needed to rest, so the old slave didn't dare to disturb Miss. Today, the old slave thought that Miss must be resting, so he hurried over to say goodbye to Miss......"

When Xia Ruan heard this, he smiled faintly and said kindly: "Since Mother Liu is the housekeeper, it is natural for outsiders to understand the rules, but this person is here, right?" Waiting in the Frontroom? ”

"Miss, what are you?" Mother Liu was a little puzzled, "Do you have to ask Mrs. for instructions?" ”

Xia Ruan's smile gradually subsided, and after turning around, she quietly looked at Mother Liu. Look, Mother Liu's heart is worried.

This is like a young lady from the small businessman Jia's family. This......

After a while, Xia Ruan said slowly: "Mother is now pregnant, and now you can do whatever I say." If Mother Liu can't do it well, then I can change someone who can do it. I think the third uncle must have no opinion. What do you say, Mother Liu? ”

Mother Liu listened. There was a cold sweat on his forehead.

The old slave understood. The old slave will do it immediately. After Mother Liu finished speaking, she walked out.

At this time, Mother Liu remembered Xia Ruan's cold face just now, and walked faster again. I walked quickly down the verandah to the hall.

"What kind of person is this young lady, Mother Liu?"

"Mother Liu, is Miss easy to talk to?"

"Mother Liu, is Miss good-tempered?"

……

The chattering around made Mother Liu have a headache, and she couldn't help but sigh: "Wait a minute, you all be careful, this young lady looks kind, but in fact she is a bad talker." Don't mess up the rules, do your duty, otherwise you won't know how to get out of the city when the time comes. ”

Liu's mother's words made the faces of several mothers-in-law around her change greatly.

At this time, Mother Chen snorted coldly: "Mother Liu, I said that you are getting less and less courageous, no matter how powerful she is, she is just a young lady of a business, can she compare with us?" And the lady in this room didn't speak, how could she get her turn. We have served our wife in the Chengguo Mansion for so many years over the years, and now she still dares to give us a face? It's really ......."

"Oh, I said Mother Chen, don't make a mess." Mother Liu stomped her feet anxiously at this time, "Although you are the person next to your wife, you have to think about it, this house belongs to the Xia family, who has the final say in this house now?" I see that the old man has a broken leg, and this lady has no idea, and this is not the final say of the young lady. And you don't even know what she said just now. ”

Mother Chen is the person He Cui brought from the He family, so she naturally speaks much harder than Mother Liu.

After the Li family married into the Xia family, almost all the subordinates in the Chengguo Mansion changed, and Liu's mother only heard some rumors.

"Really? I want to see how powerful this young lady is, this is the house given by the wife, and naturally the wife has the final say. Mother Chen glanced at Mother Liu disdainfully, "The third master still called you to be the mother in charge." ”

For Mother Liu to be the housekeeper mother in this house, Mother Chen is somewhat unwilling.

Obviously, it should be her in terms of experience and doing things, but now ......

Thinking of this, Chen's mother was even more lazy to look at Liu's mother.

……

At this time, Xia Ruan was accompanying the Li family to breakfast, and the meal here was not quite to her liking, so she used some of it for fear that the Li family would be too distracted.

At this time, she was already thinking about how to deal with these people later.

"Cuiliu, you will stay with Miss for a while." Li Shi looked at Xia Ruan's distracted appearance, and whispered to Cuiliu, "You have been with me for many days in the past, do you know what to do later?" ”

Cuiliu nodded: "Madam, don't worry, the slave knows the way." ”

At this time, Xia Ruan raised his head and looked at Li Shi and smiled: "Mother, you don't have to worry about these little things, I will take care of them." ”

In the past, there were hundreds of people in her restaurant, and she could manage them properly, and these people were just a piece of cake.

It's just that...... It's going to be lively again. (To be continued......)
